Karramarro Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right, let’s have a look at the charts for Karramarro. We’ve got a bit of a slow burn this week, but there's some proper shine if you’re willing to wait for it. The point here is an advanced, inconsistent setup—it doesn't fire often, so when it lines up, you gotta be on it. It’s fairly exposed to the swell, and it wants it from the northwest.

First up, Wednesday the 9th is a write-off. There’s rain, a cross-shore breeze, and the sea’s got a bit of chop on it. The energy’s there—525—but it’s messy, and this spot doesn’t tolerate that. Thursday the 10th morning brings a change: glassy conditions and a 4ft NW swell with a 10-second period. The energy drops to 348, and it’s looking clean. This is the first real window, but the score is modest. The wave quality will be good, but it’s not the big one.

Friday and Saturday are flat, simple as that. The swell drops right out, and it’s not worth getting wet for. We’re talking waist-high dribble at best, so save your energy.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Sunday the 13th morning, the ocean wakes up. A clean 5ft NW groundswell rolls in with a 13-second period and the energy jumps to 663. The wind is dead calm. This is the standout. The period and direction are spot on for the point, and that long period will make it connect. But keep in mind, this is a point break, and a lengthy period like that can make it a bit straight at times, but the quality here trumps that. This is the one to circle. Monday morning is also good, glassy with a 4ft NW swell at 12 seconds and 438 energy, but it's a step down from Sunday.

Tuesday and Wednesday next week are poor. The swell fades and the winds turn cross-shore. Then we got a blank stretch into the following weekend. The 19th and 20th look surfable but unremarkable—4ft to 5ft NW swells, a bit of energy, but nothing that'll have you calling in sick.

We've got a long-range whisper for Thursday the 24th. A glassy morning with a 3ft WNW swell but with a very long 13-second period, energy at 338. It’s promising, but that’s a long way out, so keep it on the radar but don’t commit. A long period like that loves a point like this, but it might be small.

For the highlights, Sunday the 13th is your best bet. Bigger swell, glassy, and the energy is the highest of the run. It’s for advanced surfers only at this size on an inconsistent break; you need to know what you’re doing. Monday morning is a solid backup.

So, the plan: sit tight through the start, get amped for Sunday, and keep a loose eye on that last Thursday. That's the story from here.

Rusty.
